If there’s only one thing you need to know from Chemistry Class, it’s this…

In addition to these ecological effects, the property of water’s density anomaly also plays a fundamental role in the regulation of Earth’s climate. The oceans act as thermal regulators, absorbing heat during warm periods and releasing it during cold periods. The density anomaly of water enables this process, as colder water remains at the surface, preventing the complete freezing of water bodies and allowing heat exchange to occur. In essence, this seemingly simple property of water at 4°C has far-reaching consequences for the planet’s habitability, from sustaining ecosystems to regulating climate. So, if there’s one thing to take away from the lesson, it’s the extraordinary behavior of water that makes life as we know it possible on Earth. <a href="https://medium.com/@gmntzs/if-theres-only-one-thing-you-need-to-know-from-chemistry-class-it-s-this-239b28d49623">Read More</a>
